What kind of Computer should I buy?

I have owned Dell, HP, Toshiba and compaq PCs, all with Windows OS's. Every time something goes wrong it seems to be the software not the computer. I swear each time, "next time I'm getting a Mac". I have Windows 7 on the latest computer which is a Toshiba and it is By Far the best. I've never owned a Mac or even operated one. So I really don't know anything about them except they cost a fortune. Why should I buy a Mac or why should I buy another PC and what kind? Thank you for your opinion.

    Save yourself a lot of hassles and frustration. Buy a Mac.

    A Mac will cost you a little bit more up front, but it will come with everything you need; and, everything just works the way it should. Also, with a Mac, you won't need to worry about viruses, spyware and other malicious threats.

    I should also mention that Macs will typically last a lot longer, and will retain a higher resale or trade-in value.

    First you should know that MAC is for design and multimedia appliances, if you don't use them you'll be purchasing a very expensive toy that you never use.

    If you purchase other PC why don't you try something with best architecture like ALIENWARE or VOODOO PC??

    Use linux. Its better than mac and its free. Check out Ubuntu or linux mint, they are easy to install and use.
